The Sword Palace: Book 5 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

  "Well, the sixth. There are many elements when determining the rank of a Sky Tower and they will be re-ranked every one hundred years." Casina said embarrassedly, "However, it wasn't because we are weak. I never lost a game in Battle God's Championship Contest and I earned a lot of points for our tower."

  "However, we lost a lot of points in other things in the last 1000 years."

  "5000 years ago, our tower was often in the top 3 and sometimes was the number one."

  "The reason why the rank of our tower has dropped to the sixth is complicated. The main reason is the god's domains attached to other towers developed a lot of special careers, which greatly increased the score of their towers."

  Yun Xi listened to Casina's words but was not fully understanding. He looked at the Sky Tower and quietly remembered this in his heart.

  It seemed that the rank of a tower didn't only depend on the fighting capacity it had, it had relationships with a lot of other factors.

  However, why did the masters of the seven towers fight for the rank of their towers? Does it mean anything?

  It's hard to understand.

  Why did the "Sky Tower" of Eastern God's Domain drop to the second last?

  Besides, apart from the "God Tower" of Western God's Domain and the "Dragon Tower" of Dragon God's Domain, where are the remaining four towers? Why didn't I hear anything about them?

  As the Wonders of the entire universe, shouldn't they all be famous?

  Without any noise, although the speed of "The Sands of Time" was extremely fast, it flew in quiet, as if it wasn't having a high-speed descent in the sky.

  Standing on the floor, Yun Xi didn't feel any change in the gravity. The floating ship smoothly landed on the core area of the White Lotus Sword Palace. Immediately, one light bridge after another fell down to the ship, forming corridors for the passengers.

  "Go on and enjoy your new life here, but don't forget to come to my room this night!"

  Casina patted on Yun Xi's shoulders and stretched out herself after that. She straightly ignored the greeting part of the Sword Palace and went back to her room.

  Looking at his teacher who was going to have a short doze, Yun Xi smiled bitterly.

  My teacher is really willful!

  Perhaps this is her right as a strong being.

  "Mei, let's jump down!" Hua Huo was unhappy with the fact that her "Mei" was exclusively possessed by Casina and she couldn't do anything about it. Finally, Casina left and she found this opportunity, so she pulled his hand quickly.

  "Jump down from this place?" Yun Xi was confused.

  Aren't there light bridges? They are long but definitely safe.

  "Yes, let's jump down here!" Hua Huo laughed. She had decided to do this before they set out.

  Isn't it good to do daring and interesting things with my lover?

  "One, two, three!" Before he could complain, she had jumped down from the 1000 meters height while holding his hand tightly.

  "Whoooa!" Yun Xi screamed in the air. Hua Huo, can't you be a gentle girl?!

  "My Little Xi is the best!" Hua Huo laughed in the air and forgot everything unhappy before.

  In the sensation of asphyxia due to the high speed descent, there were only him and her in the world. This was a big big world, but in the range of one meter, this was their own private space for two lovers.

  No matter whether it is the Battle God Casina or the Water God Hydra, none of them could tear us apart!

  Let the endless blue sky be our witness, he and I will never part!

  Chapter 338: Announcement

  Flying was forever a dream of all mankind. Because humans weren't born with wings, they could only live on the ground and look at the winged beings with envy.

  Mankind was given a scorned word for a name from the winged ones, "Landworm". People were angry about it, but couldn’t retort.

  Only when the humans who had reached the hero rank could surpass the limit of flesh and blood and fly in the air, however, it was just a privilege that belonged to very few humans.

  Even amongst a hundred hero ranked beings, it was hard to find one person who could fly freely like winged beings. Even the Lamia Queen, the Mermaid Queen, and the Caelian Queen couldn't do it.

  It was too difficult to accomplish the dream of flying for the races who had no wings.

  Fortunately, Yun Xi was one of the few people who had the experience of flying.

  Stepping on the Crane Wings Twin Swords, he could overcome the pull of gravity and fly in the air momentarily.

  However, it wasn't a "fall" he was experiencing now.

  The pull of gravity, the hollow feeling after losing any supporting point, and the sensation of asphyxia due to falling, all proved that Yun Xi was still a mortal who couldn't fly.

  Compared to him, she looked more comfortable. Although she had no wings, she was indeed enjoying the pleasant sensation of falling.

  Yun Xi was clearly sure that it was her true feelings.

  Unlike ordinary humans, she could be considered as another being. The falling to your death, was just a simple and interesting game to her.

  She was born with a super power and flying was like an instinct of her body. If he didn’t know she really didn't have wings, he would think that she was an angel in the tales of Western God's Domain.

  Dropping to the ground from 1000 meters height would only take a few seconds, but with his sensations, he felt as if he had spent a whole life with Hua Huo.

  From life to death, they held each other's hand, working together toward a far away world.

  He almost subconsciously put on the White Emperor Mask and summoned the Water Mist Field to support himself and stop in the air.

  He never expected that she would do this. It was unusual.

  He felt as if she was acting rashly because she felt wronged. In his memory, he only saw her like this once, when his sword skill teacher tried to teach him something that wasn't in any textbook in her room.

  Is she being jealous? A vague idea, which was close to the right answer appeared in his mind.

  "Boom!" When they were about ten meters away from the ground and could see the frightened tutors' pale faces clearly, a transparent light halo appeared under her feet.

  The dream of all mankind, the miracle of a lifetime, the barrier even to hero ranked beings was broken by Hua Huo at this moment.

  Flying! The power of the Sky Flying Bloodline!

  She stepped on the light halo, suspended in the air. She could go to any place she wanted using this method.

  As the light halo broke down into sparkles and disappeared, Hua Huo held Yun Xi's hand, nimbly jumping to the ground.

  The tutor’s started shouting, "What?"

  "How can this be possible?"

  "What is happening?"

  To the people who hadn't witnessed Hua Huo's Sky Flying Sword, even if they were hero ranked people, they couldn't understand how she did it.

  "I'm coming, the White Lotus Sword Palace!" Hua Huo announced to the entire Sword Palace proudly.

  No one could stop her footsteps!

  She would bring victory!

  No matter if it was the White Lotus Secret Treasure or Yun Xi, she was confident enough to have them all.

  From now on, she wouldn't hide her power, she wouldn't hide her light!

  After her experiences in the Water God's world, she realized that she suppressed her power too much in the past.

  She wouldn't suffer another such failure again!

  "Look, she is my maid, "Mei". She is my private property, none of you can have any designs on her!" Lifting up Yun Xi's hand, Hua Huo triumphantly announced her ownership of this beautiful black-haired maid in front of everyone.

  ...

  On the floating ship "The Sands of Time", Casina rocked with laughter after hearing Hua Huo's surprising announcement.

  "Ha ha ha ha, this is too dramatic. She deserves to have that bloodline!"

  "The Sword Palace will become hustle and bustle soon."r />
  "How big a storm will she bring to the entire Sword Palace?"

  On the floor, the Starwing Knights girls looked at the girl who just announced her ownership of their "Mei" with a strange look.

  "Hua Huo..." Hua Yue clenched her White Golden Crossed Sword tightly. Her shivering golden hair showed how agitated her heart was.

  "She is the strongest genius..." Xiao Cao gazed at Hua Huo with a burning will in her eyes.

  "No! Mei belongs to us all!" Ling Ling raised her hand and protested. It is too much to take away our "Mei" in this manner!

  "Strange... why..." Mei Lan pressed her hand to her chest, looking at "Mei" with a puzzled expression.

  "..." Lu Lu took a deep breath. The will in her eyes became firmer as her rabbit ears hung down.

  "Enemy... strong enemy..." White Lotus stared at Hua Huo with a serious look. Her fingers counted, trying to calculate and find a method to defeat this strong enemy.

  Quickly, "Enemy? Where?" Red Lotus looked at her sister in confusion. They were at the White Lotus Sword Palace, their home field! Where did the enemy come from?

  "Sister... you don't understand..."

  Chapter 339: Challenge

  "I, Hua Huo, am the strongest freshman!"

  "I don't like weak people, or the people who don't know their limitations and dare to challenge me!"

  "I will become the new owner of the White Lotus Secret Treasure, and that's my purpose for coming here."

  After her first failure in the Water God's world, some special character was aroused inside Hua Huo's body.

  Her talent was far beyond the limit of everyone. In the small town, she was the undoubted strongest genius.

  Because of this, including Yun Xi, they knew just how strong she was, but no one had realized to what degree her real talent and combat power had reached.

  Until they came to the Water God's world, and he had become the "White Emperor" who was blessed by the entire world and was wearing three artifacts, he finally realized just how strong her real strength could be.

  Common hero ranked people couldn't even hold out against her for a few seconds in the face of her attacks. With her Sky Flying Power, she could launch a surprise attack against her enemy at any time and from any angle.

  Even if she was forced into a corner, her body contained almost endless energy, and she would become stronger and stronger while being trapped in that dilemma.

  She was like a hero in the fairy tales of the Western domains or an immortal in the stories of the Eastern domains. As the only person who once drove her into a tight corner, he was the only person who knew just how invincible she was!

  Her future is unlimited!

  Even now, her power was sufficient to beat down most beings in the White Lotus Sword Domain!

  Apart from Casina and Hydra, who were at the legend rank, it was very likely that none of the other people could defeat her.

  And now, she was only 16 years old. No one could predict what kind of achievements she would make in the future, because she was doomed to become the most eye catching and brightest star in the starry sky.

  The small failure in the Water God's world didn't get her down. Instead, it stimulated her belief of becoming stronger to a higher degree.

  At present, she stood in front of everyone, facing all eyes from disciples and tutors of the Sword Palace alike, she announced her heartfelt feelings proudly, which would definitely push her to everyone's opposite side.

  The White Lotus Secret Treasure was the deepest, most secret desire in everyone's heart. Not one of the disciples of the Sword Palace didn't dream of obtaining this legendary secret treasure.

  There were a lot of tales about the secret treasure. As time went by, the tales didn't reduce but increased at a stable speed.

  No one knew the real look of this secret treasure, because the secret treasure in the White Lotus Sword Palace was just a projection of the original, which couldn't even be regarded as the tip of an iceberg.

  However, the projection had helped hundreds of people reach the hero rank. More or less, the people who touched the projection all obtained amazing benefits.

  All of them did try to find the original of the projection, but none of them had succeeded.

  Over time, the White Lotus Secret Treasure not only became a symbol of White Lotus Sword Domain, but also become famous in the entire Sky Sword God's Domain.

  Every time the Sword Palace started to recruit disciples, a lot of elites would come to White Lotus Sword Domain from other domains. There were even students from foreign high-level sword domains, and the reason they came here was all for the projection of the secret treasure.

  At this moment, Hua Huo's words, was a challenge to the entire White Lotus Sword Palace.

  Even the tutors of the Sword Palace thought that she was too pretentious.

  "Is there anyone who disagrees? No problem, I accept challenges from everyone. I know there is a ring for accepting the challenge, why don't we go there?" She was already itching to beat down the disciples who were looking at her with displeasure.

  There was actually a reason she chose the White Lotus Sword Palace.

  Her talent was so great that she could choose all Sword Palaces at will, even if she wanted to go to the Great Xia Sword Palace, the number one Sword Palace of this god's domain, she wouldn't be refused entrance.

  However, no one had found the original of the secret treasure, but everyone knew it was indeed in the White Lotus Sword Domain. To be precise, in the sword tip area of this sword domain.

  Even her Sky Flying Bloodline longed for it, because it was a treasure that Yun Hai the Sword Master didn't obtain.

  Only this treasure was good enough for her and could become a part of her bloodline!

  "If any of you can defeat me, I will give up my pursuit of the secret treasure. Now, come on, come here, let me see how strong you are!"

  "Oh, incidentally, the people who will be defeated by me must swear that they will never have designs on my Mei. I will kill anyone who doesn't keep his word!"

  "Mei is mine, no one can pursue her!"

  She was proud and confident, perfect and persistent. Yun Xi just witnessed a brand new side of his childhood sweetheart.

  He wasn't the only person who learned something in the Water God's world. After experiencing her failure, Hua Huo was also transforming.

  From the strongest genius in the small town to the strongest genius in the entire White Lotus Sword Domain, she was doomed to step on a road that no one could catch up on.

  Ordinary people couldn't be compared with her, a super genius... no, she shouldn't even be called a "genius", she should be called a "monster"!

  "Are you trying to make me laugh? Who are you?! How dare you challenge your predecessors?!"

  "Humph, interesting. Let me see what gives you the guts to challenge us all!"

  "Yes, it seems that it's the time to teach this freshman a lesson!"

  "Even if you are the strongest freshman, you are just a freshman. I advise you to be more modest!"

  "Let's go to the ring! I will let you know what the meaning of 'frog in the well' is. This is the White Lotus Sword Palace, not the countryside you lived in!"

  "Rustic!, learn to be modest!"

  The Sword Palace disciples were all provoked. They were all young geniuses and none of them were afraid of the challenge.

  They didn't notice that the black-haired maid behind her was looking at them with a mournful expression of pity, as if they were a group of prisoners under sentence of death.

  You guys know nothing about power.

  How dare you challenge Hua Huo when she was in such an excited state? You will soon know what an unwise choice you just made!

  "Very good, will you come one after another or challenge me all together?" She looked at these "predecessors" and smiled, which was really a "tiger's smile" in his eyes.

  May God help you! You poor predecessors.

  Chapter 340: Carry Them Out!

 
Undoubtedly, Zhou Zhen was a genius in the eyes of everyone.

  Since three years of age, he had shown a great sword arts talent.

  In the Sky Sword God's Domain, sword arts was the most eminent. Apart from the sword, nothing else was distinguished. Therefore, as a child who was born with great sword arts talent, he lived with praise and envy from everyone.
